(10,102 posts)8. I detest the "show" German Shepherds
We see the "pet quality" ones at the shelter from time to time. Usually they are 1-2 year old ones that the owners just don't understand how to work with and all they need is proper training. They're good dogs with an owner who understands them.
Another thing I can't stand is what's been done with Labradors. Most of the "show" ones are too heavy. A proper Lab is sleek and fast. You'll see those in agility or obedience at times, but mostly in the field, doing what they were bred for. The last decent "show" lab was Ch. Shamrock Acres Light Brigade, and that was way back in the 1970s.

I'm not going to fling epithets, and I agree that humans have interfered with MANY species.

NPR admits in the article that it's a problematic poll as it is not at all scientific.

She's far from yappy. She's only high maintenance now because she's 18 years old.
